I taught secondary school for three years. Before school started, we were required to go to a meeting where members of the teacher's union had time to convince us to sign up. They had no real information as to what the teacher's union would do for us. They just told me that if a student or a parent wanted to sue me or charge me of a crime, I would be represented by the union. Nothing else. But I felt extreme pressure to sign up for the union and pay my dues. I did find out that the union I was pressured to be a part of was against vouchers because it would endanger teacher's jobs. I just said, "Well, if I lose my job, I can go get one at a private school." I don't see that teacher's unions do much good for anybody.
